The excitement comes from releasing Reynolds, why would you do that if not to replace him.

Add to fact that Hodgson said he hoped for an announcement 48 to 72 hours since Friday and so far nothing.

Press conference tomorrow, so I'm sure it will be asked and will get the usual nothing.

Hard to feel positive about the club at the moment.

Teams around us, have all done retention or recruitment whilst we have whilst we have announced Wynne.

People saying maybe we have nothing to announce, then bloody get something done, Trueman, Lovodua, even a few of the academy lads of long term deals, compared to others we seem to mess about or wait ages to announce deals.

Or maybe your just impatient, perhaps you should have a red telephone direct to Pearson.

But what if, a chain of events had to start with his release, to enable the rest to fall into place, and then something happened that stalled the process. Then maybe, just maybe the club can't make any announcements without breaching confidentiality.

THIS^^^^^

Not really sure what your point is about the telephone?

More frustrated, once again our season is collapsing due to poor planning, are we supposed to just accept it and say there is always next year like the last 5 years.

I'll be there Saturday, but a lot won't be, which will costing the club money. Would some positive news make a difference to the crowd, I'm not 100%, but imagine if the club made announcements of Lovodua, Hoy and Trueman over the next 3 days.

I thought Hodgson had something about concentrating on younger players. Can't find the quote though.

It was probably unwise to say we could have signing news within 72 hours. Maybe showed a lack of experience there.

Obviioulsy Gale going off injured and having to sit out the Leeds game too hasn't helped.

I think it was on Reynolds release statement. It was worded like 'opening up pathways for the future talent'

Where’s the “poor planning” come from? We went into the season with a recognised spine and some pundits had us in the running for a tilt at honours. Reynolds turned out gash, unfortunately, so the club have chopped him. Gale’s not much better but who foresaw him copping 7 match bans and struggling to get his confidence back. Oh, and almost forgot, Connor’s out for the season. Posters wanted Reynolds out and Hookem in, you’ve got that and they’re still bleating. Life’s a clusterfooook watching FC at times but we roll with it. As I said, you’ll just have to be patient or have a direct phone to Pearson so he can tell you exactly what’s happening, just to appease you. If there’s something you don’t understand about that, then heyho. Not just a pop at you but certainly some on here, that expect the club to give a day to day running commentary on what’s happening.

Hookem has played 60 minutes and has replaced Gale, I'll be happy once he gets a few matchs, be interesting to see what Hodgy does on Saturday.

The big issue is we haven't replaced Connors creativity.

I keep hearing Criag Halls name, worryingly I actually think he would improve us.

As long as its just in your head Dave

Is he still full time at Fev?

I'd rather give some game time to Hookem and Balmforth for the short term
